I live nearby (Sathorn - suanplu area). I did the Silom thing at Songkran around 3 or 4 times. I don't recommend it. No fun at all unless you just like being squashed in a crowd, moving a 1/10 mile per hour :). People who took the BTS just froze into place, couldn't move back or forth. Just staring down to the mass below. Better off having fun in the less crowded streets and neighborhoods, which is real good fun and no hassle. Up to you as they say. Cheers

probably a fan of The Who's Pete Townshend. But 711 won't get fool again

Not sure where some people in this forum get their info, but you can definitely get a decent room in central Bangkok at around 10 000 thb (even better in areas that are more far away but still within walking distance from BTS or MRT), Just go on the rental/property websites and you will see. Cheers

Phuket and Isan? hum.....hell no......Some very specific locations in these 2 places are certainly worth it. But not as a whole. [ps : Glad to see the the City of DIJON in Burgundy (France) Mentioned Though..... Stunningly beautiful regione. And those wines.......]

He should go to France, on the french riviera. plenty of nudist beaches there (it goes with a few locals hiding peeping and j***k off behind the surrounding pine trees and lavender bushes).

"Quickly"....Ow but what's the rush really ????

I wouldn't go as far as going french "gilets-jaunes / yellow shirts" style here in Thailand, at intersections. But as someone paying taxes here (personal income & company taxes etc..) and social security to all the employees i have and ever had. Having given a decently paid job to quite a number of Thai people over 10 years. I feel that even as a foreigner, i am entitled to at least have a say about local politics. Too bad i cannot vote , although i'm not sure how that would make a difference in such a (ahem) democracy.

Drugs, and Meth in particular are terrible (in case anyone has personnally seen the ravages it does to someone...). But she gets decades in jail, while a guy just killed two people with a knife and got bailed....with an ankle device....It's just beyond my comprehension
